Northland student Chloe King took a step toward realising her dreams when she won the Classroom Couture category in the 20th Ag Art Wear contest, at the National Agricultural Fieldays in Hamilton.
The 16-year-old Whangarei Girls' High School art, textiles and fashion technology student fancies seeing her name in lights when the credits roll for costume design for a future big movie or stage show.
Her Fieldays success earlier this month is just the incentive she needs to encourage her to work hard for one of the half-dozen places open annually for the costume construction course she covets at the New Zealand Drama School, which she wants to attend in 2016.
"It would be like a dream come true to work on films and stage," Chloe said.
The Classroom Couture category is about developing aspiring young artists and designers from secondary schools.
